'You see them everywhere in China’s big cities. Young men in bright uniforms zip through the streets, dodging traffic and pedestrians, to deliver meals, groceries, and even medicine. On-demand delivery has become a part of everyday life in urban China. One government report estimates that nearly 300 million people, or half the country’s internet users, have ordered food online. But what is life like for the drivers, who are literally risking their lives to deliver food on time? We hitched a ride with one of them. This is the third episode of our series “What’s It Like,” which explores social issues in China through intimate, personal stories.
